I've seen London, I've seen France and you're all in America... oops.

We started off our trip to London with a midterm… wah wah, followed by a trip to The Old Globe Theatre to see The Taming of the Shrew. Saturday we took a bus to Cambridge. I have to be honest, I was far from excited for this because it was our only Saturday and I had plans to go to the Portobello Road market that is ONLY on Saturdays. But I pulled up my bootstraps and in true Ippolito fashion, I pulled out my cards and had a fantastic lunch with Kelsey, which included cake, chocolate of course, and coffee for desert.

Jean on jean.
For you dad...
"How many more bacon jokes is this guy gonna make?"

Because I had been to London before, this was a more relaxing city for me. I got to go site seeing with friends, but I didn’t feel pressured to see everything, which was quite refreshing. I did, however, get to see Abbey Road, which I had not seen before!

Tootie.
Thanks to some pounds from my Grammy and Papa, I was able to see not one, but TWO shows while I was in London. Jersey Boys was on Friday, and Wicked was on Wednesday. With the group, we saw the Philharmonic and Swan Lake. Needless to say I felt quite cultured. Although I was a little bummed that most of our time in London consisted of studying, I am THRILLED to be heading home, or to my homeland, ITALY!!! Arrivederci London, Ciao Roma!
